Testimonial

Since 1982, Augsburg College has had the privilege of helping more than 2,300 women and men get their college degrees and enter into changed lives of purpose, service and accomplishment. Today, more than 850 adult students are taking classes at Augsburg College with that same goal clearly in mind. Here are just a few of the stories of those who’ve reached their goal. There are literally hundreds more, and yours could one day be among them.

Janice Aune 1988 Graduate President, CEO, Onvoy

"The Augsburg curriculum has been extremely important for my business career and professional advancement. It gave me the roundedness that I needed, and I use what I learned just about every day. I've encouraged a number of people to try Weekend College because I believe earning a college degree is an important step toward success for most people." - Janice

Jit Kundan 2002 Graduate Behavior specialist/substitute teacher, Minneapolis Public Schools

“The Weekend College schedule is so flexible. You can make up your own course schedule based on what works for you and your family, and pace yourself so you can keep up with your school work. The instructors are very understanding of your other responsibilities, but they also don't let you off the hook. It is a very rigorous program." - Jit

Sue Thompson 2000 Graduate Auditor, Minnesota Department of Transportation

"I never thought study abroad could be part of my degree program – that was just for younger students, not for someone like me, with a job and a family. But when I heard about Augsburg's International Partners program in Germany, I began to realize it could be possible. Last summer, I took a leave from work, and had a six-week internship with a German company; it was a life-changing experience. Now I know I can do anything." - Sue

Luke Litteken 2001 Graduate Manager, Subcontractor Services and Sales Administration, Reliant Energy Minnegasco

I have a very demanding job and a young child at home, so going back to school presented a major challenge. The support of my wife and the tuition reimbursement provided by my company were instrumental in making it possible for me to get my degree." - Luke
